Personal profile

Biography

Jurgita Ovadnevaite is a Professor in Physics at the School of Natural Sciences, Physics, University of Galway. She graduated from Vilnius University in 2001 and received Ph.D. in natural sciences in 2007 from the Institute of Physics. Her present work, as a director of the Centre for Climate and Air Pollution Studies (C-CAPS), is focused on aerosol physicochemical properties, sources, formation, transformation and their climate and health impacts. She is a PI and/or WP leader on a number of major National and EU grants; publishes her research in high profile international journals (lead author of Nature (Cover) and Nature Sustainability, Nature Geoscience, GRL, JGR, ES&T and others) and acts there as a reviewer. She has presented her work at numerous international conferences, where she was a plenary and invited speaker. Jurgita is championing source apportionment work in the National Research Forum established by the Department of Climate, Energy and Environment. She is a contributing author of the IPCC Working Group I (The Physical Science Basis) Sixth Assessment Report. Jurgita is a chair of the Mace Head Atmospheric Research Station (macehead.org) management committee. Full list of Publications: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7201-0118

Research Interests

Research is focused on studying synergetic aerosol chemistry, physics, cloud processes and healt effects and her main area of expertise is in the application of aerosol mass spectrometry techniques to elucidating the production, nature, dispersion and impacts of aerosol on climate and health.
